Arbor DaY.


Last Friday was "Arbor Day." and
the Superintendent and teachers of our
schools had made elaborate arrange
ments for its observance, but the wealth
er, which was detestable, greatly inter-
fered, and wholly prevented the plant
ing of about fifty trees that had been
procured for the occasion. In the af-
ternoon, however, the Opera House
was crowded with teachers, pupils and
friends, and the indoor portion of the
program was carried out as follows:
Introductory remarks. .......Sup't Sharkey.
| Song, "0ld Oaken Bucket" Fourth Grade
Pupils.
Concert Exercises, Pupils of Primary Grade.
Recitation, "Woodman, Spare that Tree.
co Sssilt E Me,,s, MAUD Aa0 Fifth Grade Pupils.
Recitation, "'The Willow by the Spring..
Mabel Filbert.
Recitation, "The Forest Song,".--.. Horace
Bruce.
Recitation, pictures of memory" -Aliee
Recitation, "The Acorn" ....G Oracle Resor.
Recitation, "The Beechen Tree,"-Campbell,
Concert exercise. Second and Third Grades
Recitation, from Pollok's Course OF Time"

Laura Hathaway.
Recitation, "The Groves were Gods First
Temples" ina Gilmore.
Five minute speeches from Rev. Bishop, j.
A. Gilmore, Esq, and W. b. Wherly.
The occasion was an interesting and
pleasant one. The control exercised
over the little ones by their teachers,
was admirable, and speaks well for
both.
There were a number more billed for
the occasion but failed to put in an ap-
pearance. These present responded in
brief remarks.
To-day, (Thursday) the tree-planting
exercises will take place in the follow
ing order:
8 O'Clock, Pupils assemble at North School
Building.

FOf tne
Pleasant A0nir.
april IA,

1t was the gathering of a number of the rel
atives and friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Rinehart, at their beautiful and commodious
home six miles southeast of Eaton, on Friday
the 18th inst, to celebrate their thirtieth
wedding anniversary. The affair, which was
ingeniously planned and carried out by theil
daughters, was a complete surprise to the
honored couple. They were perfectly limo
cent of anything unusual going on, until with
wonderment they saw the string of carriages
rolling up to the gate; and, even then, not nm
til the smiling company began to unload
could they divine just what was Gin the wind
The company were made welcome by the
family, and the happy bride and groom o.
thirty years ago soon entered heartily into
the spirit and enjoyment of the OCCASION. At
ter spending a few hours in social converse
partaking Of a beautiful dinner and presenta-
ton of presents, a season of devotions were
led by Rev. ]. G.. Bishop, of Eaton; the com
pany then retired at a seasonable hour leav-
ing this pleasant family to their own musings
Who does not feel that "'Tis pleasant to be
remembered?" Therefore, let US break oul
"alabaster boxes over our friends while they
yet live and can enjoy some of the fragrance,

For the Democrat.
A Kind Act.

A Kind Act.
Through the influence of Mr.. Philip Miller,
of Eaton, O., the Wisconsin Central K. R.
does a kind act. Mrs. Samuel r. Smith, of
Centre, P. o., Ohio, recently received a draft
for SIC. 90 from the Wisconsin Central R. r.
Co. The circumstances which brought this
about are as follows: November goth, 1886,
Samuel R. Smith became lost and froze to
death, while with a party ofhunters near Chel-
sea, Wis. His friends were telegraphed for
and his son, II. A. Smith, Immediately start
ed from his home in Montgomery Co.. o., for
Wisconsin to prosecute n vigorous search for
his fathers body. After a weeks search the
body was found, conveyed home and buried in
the cemetery at his native place.
Mr.. Philip Miller, of Eaton, o., hearing of
the circumstances, made inquiry of said Fl.
A. Smith as to what R. R. routes he travelled
over in going to Wisconsin,, and over what R.
R. his father, Samuel R. smith, went to the
formed that both Samuel R.. Smith and his
son, H. A. Smith, bought tickets to Chicago
over the Pan Handle, and from Chicago north
over the Wisconsin Central. Mr.. Miller then
corresponded with the railroads for several
months, and finally, after presenting the case
fully, and IN view of the fact that Mrs. Samuel
r. Smith was left penniless, Mr.. Miller sue
ceeded in getting the Wisconsin Central to
refund the fare paid to them by Samuel R..
Smith and his son H. A. Smith. This AMOUNT
ed to $26.98, and the money was duly receiv-
ed and fully appreciated, as Mrs. Smith has
nothing whatever to support her except what
the Odd Fellows give her. h. A. Smith, her
son, is in poverty in consequence of the great
outlay consequent to a trip to Wisconsin and
return, and the cost of hiring searchers and
paying 500 reward, &c. Railroads are gen
orally regarded as heartless corporations, but
this act of kindness certainly bellies what is
said of them.
Too much praise can not be given Mr.. Philip
Miller for his interest and efforts in securing
the refunding of the fare. He is in nowise
related to Mr.. Smith or family, and all that
he has done he did without compensation and
from sympathy and natural goodness of
heart. Would that many more such men
were to be found in all cases of need, sorrow
and distress.
The thanks of Mrs. Samuel r. Smith and
her son, H. A. Smith, together with friends,
are hereby extended and expressed to the
Wisconsin Central R. R. Co. and to Mr.. Philip
Miller for their kindness.
Respectfully,
MRS. SAMUEL R.. SMITH,
r.. A. SAITH.

Professor Richard 7. Ely began a
second series of "Social Studies in the
May HARPER's, with a careful conside-
ration of s'The Nature and Significance
of Corporations" Mr.. Ely regards cor
porations as a perverted form of coop
erations, having some of the advantages
derived from the simple form of associ-
ated industry, and all the evils result
ing from an abuse of that principle
He argues hat corporations should be
purified of their obnoxious features and
restored to their wholesome original
purpose.

Highly Appreciated.

Prof. C. C. Miller has been appointed
County School Examiner in place of
Prof. DeFord whose term of office has
expired. Prof. DeFord has filled the
position for the past fifteen years with
excellent ability and complete satisfac-
ton, at all times giving it his closest
attention. Prof. Miller has filled the
position of Examiner in Preble county
and will therefore assume the duties of
the office with past experience. His en-
inent ability as an educator and his ear
nest and enthusiastic labor in the cause
of education, will no doubt prove him
to be q very acceptable Examiner.

even then, l was so much better than l had
been for three years. that l felt like a differ

this spring, so as to completely eradicate
every remnant of the disease. My general
health is greatly improved since l began tax

Building Material.

The building interests of Dallas are well
accommodated with splendid stocks OF
lumber, sash, doors, ETC., and mills which
are equal to much larger demand than
even the present The prices prevailing,
too, are such that purchasers of
large bills find it 10 their ini
terest to buy here. The house of Bird,
Anderson g. Co. is one of the oldest, most
extensive and the most reliable in Dsllas or
any city. The HERALD has information that
parties recently intending to build houses
sent agents TO TeXarkana and negotiated
with large mills in other parts Of East
Texas, and then bought of Bird, Anderson
& Co. They will beat the Eastern mills on
prices, and as to convenience in delivery,
truStworthiness, etc, discount them again.
Builders in North Texas would do well to
call on this house or correspond with them
before placing orders for builders material.
They have very large trade, simply from
the fact that they ever keep in mind the in
terest of their customers
